description

Special Cucumber Lotion is a mild astringent that eliminates acne bacteria and minimises the appearance of pimples. It dries up the pores to prevent bacteria from thriving and soothes the skin with natural Cucumber extracts. Sulfur also aids in fighting acne without aggravating the skin.

    I'm wondering if I am using this product wrong since I'm seeing so many good reviews on it here. This does nothing for me. I'm fairly new to using toner in my skincare regime and have combination...

    I haven't really noticed any results from this product. It's got a pleasant smell, but that's about it. It's also much too drying for my skin right now, as I live somewhere with very harsh...

    I use this with acne facial cleanser and other MB products. It is my HG toner, I will never switch. It really helps my acne prone combo skin to stay clear and it doesn't irritate. LOVE it and even...

    Mario Badescu's products have not really ever done anything great for my skin. I had a facial at their NYC spa years ago, and that was nice, but the products have not been anything great for me....

    I have been using this toner along with the rest of the MB combo/dry-acne products. I didn't experience more breakouts, but I do have to be careful not to apply too much of the toner, or else it...

    This toner did not help my occasional breakouts much. Yes it does disinfect since it has so much alcohol in it... But that's all. What I truly hated about it is that it made my oily skin so much...

    Disliked this stuff. It gave me small fleshy bumps along my jawline and into my cheeks. I like my Thayer's witch hazel and rosewater toner much better and it's lots cheaper.
